maybe yea

no, its an argument. propagandizing "biology" is totally essential to terfs' positions. it is a dangerous mistake to concede that ground to them when you dont have to, and you dont! it lets them nullify the significance of transition and the foundation of what youre trying to do. tactics not morals

bottom line, and i dont know how to say this without being so blunt and i know you've been through a lot and im sorry, but this community has enough liabilities. please dont become one as well

the "biological male" bullshit is absolutely foundational to their arguments, and its something they can be very easily challenged on, so why give it to them?

and maybe that, and this, could wait til the temperature cools, but what part of your biology is male? your hormones are female. you no longer have a male reproductive system. if you started hrt at 20 even your skeletal structure would be somewhat feminized. so why say this? bsky.app/profile/bria...

youre either drunk or insanely logged on and need to take a break. with the abuse it might be both. terf hate mobs are horrid. all i said is this was extremely preventable. because it was.

and if i was the only one replying to you AT THE TIME saying it was a terrible, sexist-sounding argument then i'd take that as evidence you are still, despite your best efforts, in an echochamber

respectfully, because i still think youre a net positive, the hair argument was absolutely tone deaf and terrible and you never shouldve made it

i hope sarah mcbride will humanize us a lot more than mean tweets

kinda proved your point there lol. as for your thread, id rather beg democrats for my life and survive than be mean to them, whether they deserve it or not, and die. i dont think you were wrong to post that.

are these people at least seeing more trans people in their orbit going into 2025? more trans people on capitol hill?

this is reinventing "cis is a slur" for the t umbrella. we do not need this newspeak bullshit at any time let alone now. there are people who are transgender but still cissexual. okay fine! it's absolutely a fucking problem to erase transsexuals though, and youre a bigot to claim otherwise

if a mastodon instance did this you could simply leave it and keep your platform, but for all the marketing bluesky is still effectively a centralized site owned by techbros and it would be fantasy to expect the kind of change from here that would render this issue void

i think i'll be leaving bluesky again given its (frankly, predictable) enshittification. i think the final thing i have to say, notwithstanding a 180 from their current path, is that it saddens and frustrates me that even now people are too stupid and impotent to just use a mastodon instance instead

good article, but i feel like you weaken your position when you use phrases like "preferred gender identity" rather than "immutable". transsexuals transition because "gender identity" is immutable, and we need to use restrooms of the sex we transitioned to not directly /because/ of that identity_
